Without You

You're misdirected
Your misconceptions are so alien to me
If mother nature and mother earth were real
They'd beat the shit out of you

For all your gods
And your theodicies we've seen the truth
If there is evil and we can kill it
Then I guess we're stronger too

Without you
Without you
Without you
Without-
I'm starting to put the pieces together
Like one big jigsaw puzzle
It kinda makes my head hurt
I think I need a cigarette

You've hoped for nothing and you got it
I guess you win 'em all
When I lie awake at night I feel my body start to dissolve
I close my eyes, I let myself be taken by the breeze
Next time I see you well you won't be standing next to me

Without you
Without you
Without you
Without-
I'm getting caught up in all their useless questions
They're buzzing around my head
They say "oh lord, you can't do it"
"Trust the lord, he won't do it!"

I remember when this was somewhere
And this was something
Guess it never was
It was all just money

And all the places they don't stay the same for me
And all the faces they get away from me
And all the people they stay away from me

Every day I don't know how to feel
I don't know if my friends were ever real
So get up, so get up, so get up, so get up
And let's go
Without you

(Sometimes I try to look for the answers)
(But the answers, well, they never seem to come)
So get up, so get up, so get up, so get up
(And I mean, there's reasons, there's always reasons)
And let's go
(We know why we feel this way, we know what to do about it)
Without you
(But none of these feel so satisfying as an answer is supposed to be)
So get up, so get up, so get up, so get up
(A "why," y'know? That's what we all want)
And let's go
Without you
(Because it's hard to face up to the fact that there isn't one)
(People invent all sorts of stories. Aliens. Cabals. The NWO.)
So get up, so get up, so get up, so get up
(And those offer a very seductive satisfaction of knowing the "truth")
And let's go
Without you
(There's no satisfaction to knowing that there's nothing going on)
(There's nothing behind it all)
So get up, so get up, so get up, so get up
And let's go
(There's no man behind the curtain or code behind the matrix)
Without you
(What we see is what we get)
Without you
(Billions of people exist in this world and there is no plan)
(There is no why)
So get up, so get up, so get up, so get up
And let's go
(Unimagineable cruelty happens every day and there is simply nobody who can stop it)
Without you
(Nobody except everybody, I guess)
(And therein lies the rub)
So get up, so get up, so get up, so get up
And let's go
Without you
